Fish Eagle or Bald Eagle Description


The African Fish Eagle is the similar to the American Bald Eagle. The female is about eight pounds with a wing span of eight feet. The male is about five and a half pounds with a wing span of six feet. They have a very distinctive appearance of a mostly brown body and large powerful black wings. Their head, breast and the tail is snow white, the hook shaped beak is mostly yellow with a black tip.

Fish Eagles breed during the dry season, when water levels are low. They are believed to mate for life, They often have two or more nests, which they re-use frequently. The nests grow larger as they are re-used and built upon over the years, some reaching six feet wide and four feet deep. The nest is mostly made of sticks and are placed in large trees.

The female lays one to three eggs, which are white with a few reddish speckles. The female does most of the incubation, The male will sit on the eggs when the female hunts. It takes forty two to forty five days to hatch. The eggs often hatch a few days apart, and the oldest will usually kill the younger ones. The chick stays in the nest up to seventy five days. After about eight week it is capable of feeding itself and will usually go outside of the nest two weeks later.

The fish Eagle feeds mainly on fish, which is surveys from a perch in a tree, it swoops down and snatches the fish from the water with its large clawed talons and flies back to a perch to eat. They also feed on waterfowl, small turtles and baby crocodiles.
